Someone on twitter pointed out that Black Clover's 1st volume is sold out on amazon.jp

Yep. So glad I preordered it.

And here I was gonna ask how fr is the plot on Saiki and if it's anime material, I guess we might find out next week. Kagamigami unfortunately isn't sold out yet, I hope it will sell at least 35K in it's first week. Also, it's cool to see Medusa getting a chapter here, maybe Kiss x Death or Ananomujina will get one as well.

 

[Gah]

Black Clover CP

 

[RafaFedKilla]

Beautiful, just beautiful.

 

[Bluenotebook]

I didn't think it was possible to make the villain look even worse.

 

[CEOAmaterasu]

Yeah! My favorite characters (and the two halves of my OTP) are first and second place! And Megumi is in the top 5, though I would have liked a more higher position for her (or more votes at least). But all in all it's alright.

I don't understand why Erina has a high amount of votes despite her rare appearance until now, we hardly know anything about her despite that she's hot; I'm honestly surprised Hisako and Megumi didn't rank any higher after giving them so much development

Black Clover CP

Chrollo, is it you?

Looking at some of those reviews, based on what I can make heads or tails of through google translate, it appears some of Japan's reviewers have some of the same gripes I have with BC. Not surprising, to say the least.

Yeah you're right about the character development, I agree that she needs it and I really want to see it.
Though I like Erina as much as Megumi, I don't really know why it is like that for me since I don't really like the "tsundere" type to begin with but Erina has so much potential in the story and I really want to know something about her past with Souma's dad or anything about her in general.
So I guess it's a mix of curiosity and... that mysterious aura that she still has.

Chrollo, is it you?

Chrollo as in HxH's Chrollo?
No way. Sure Black Clover is been said of taking too much inspiration on other works, but that's just exagerating.

Yeah. Pink hair, blue jewels & white clothes? Yikes. I've expected red jewels, white hair & purple clothes...
I really do like the motif of this cover, to be honest. It looks cool. But the color scheme of BC hurts my eyes...

 

[susanoo13]

To me he reminded Garaa a lot more, the no eyebrows and stoic stare and now the hair color but all in all I do wonder where this character will be taken, if at all.

On the road to>80k sales.

After the first chapter, it's all confirmation bias for these guys at this point.

But jokes aside, it seems that the manga is selling a lot. Perhaps repeats the OP/AssClass phenomenon.

 

[susanoo13]

I didn't mean the comment as a joke and I don't think it's such a bad thing that I get reminded of another character in a manga. If it was, Kenshin wouldn't be successful in USA due to al the marvel inspiration.I hope to see the next 1M seller as it gains sells wether it's gonna be a manga I like or not and as of right now I enjoy Black clover for a decent entertainment, I wouldn't buy it's volumes yet but I would keep reading.

I'm pretty sure that's a joke.

There isn't even anything else to that and you're automatically assuming he's bashing the manga because you've seen people call it out for copying? Lol.

 

[conankudo]

Could it be that the author 森井崇正 of the upcoming One Shot next week is the same of "Angry Monkey"(ブチキレザル) which was released in JUMP NEXT! SUMMER 2012?

Hoperfully those are just some jokers and not people truly serious.

I don't think jokers would give legitimate and understandable criticism.
